Barack Obama actually said...

"I believe that the President-elect feels strongly that American workers should have a choice to join or not to join a union."

"What we can't do is drag this out when we just saw half a million more jobs lost. You know, the American people are struggling."

"I spent 7 years, along with Pat Schroeder on the House side... was my cosponsor."

"But in selecting Congresswoman Solis, President-elect Obama has sent a clear message that America's working families will be heard."
